The icy water splashed on him, making him shiver.
Bai Yanfei stepped forward and turned off the shower. Ling Zeyu turned around and looked at him in surprise.
"Yan Yan?"
Bai Yanfei didn't speak. He took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his lips to Ling Zeyu's lips.
Ling Zeyu's pupils dilated. If he could still hold back at this moment, he wouldn't be a man.
Ling Zeyu slammed Bai Yanfei against the wall, panting heavily as he looked at him. The fire that had subsided had reignited.
"Do you know you're playing with fire?" Ling Zeyu breathed heavily, the hot air he exhaled forming a layer of mist on Bai Yanfei's face, making it impossible for him to see the person in front of him.
Bai Yanfei remained silent, holding the dazed and confused Ling Zeyu, his fingers tracing the ends of Ling Zeyu's hair. He inserted his fingertips into the part of Ling Zeyu's hair, gently pressing on the other's scalp.
Ling Zeyu could no longer hold back. He picked Bai Yanfei up and placed him on the washstand. Bai Yanfei did not resist him.
Bai Yanfei lay in Ling Zeyu's arms with his eyes closed. Ling Zeyu still couldn't believe that he had done such a thing to Bai Yanfei.
Having not released himself for so long, he went a bit too far tonight. Even after Bai Yanfei passed out, he still couldn't bear to let go. Only after he was truly satisfied did he take Bai Yanfei out and hold him in his arms to sleep.
Bai Yanfei nestled in Ling Zeyu's arms like a kitten. Ling Zeyu was also sleepy, but he couldn't bear to go to sleep. He kept wondering if this was all a dream, and that Bai Yanfei would disappear when he woke up.
However, the skin-to-skin contact eased Ling Zeyu's worries a little.
"Have you forgiven me?" Bai Yanfei murmured. "I won't make you sad again this time."
Ling Zeyu held Bai Yanfei's hand. Bai Yanfei's fingers were slender and long, with distinct knuckles. He took out a ring from his pocket and slipped it onto Bai Yanfei's middle finger.
He still needs to wear another ring on his ring finger; he still owes Yan Yan a grand marriage proposal ceremony.
Ling Zeyu finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep, holding Bai Yanfei in his arms as he slept.
Bai Yanfei went to sleep earlier than Ling Zeyu, so he naturally woke up faster as well. He poked his head out of Ling Zeyu's arms and gently pushed him, but Ling Zeyu didn't wake up, so he carefully crawled out.
"Don't run away... Don't leave me..." Ling Zeyu tightened his arms to prevent Bai Yanfei from leaving, muttered a few words, and then hugged Bai Yanfei in his arms again.
"I want to go to the restroom..." Bai Yanfei struggled for a moment, but Ling Zeyu didn't react. He then pinched the soft flesh on Ling Zeyu's waist hard.
Ling Zeyu winced in pain and released his grip. He groggily opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Bai Yanfei got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out, Ling Zeyu was getting dressed. He looked at him silently.
"Shall we go home first?" Ling Zeyu asked.
"Hmm, are you sober now? I'll drive." Bai Yanfei reached out to Ling Zeyu for the keys, and Ling Zeyu hesitated whether to give them to him.
He wondered if Bai Yanfei was angry and wanted to commit suicide by driving the car, killing both of them. But then he thought that if they were going to die, they would die together, and he would have no regrets, so he handed the keys to Bai Yanfei.
The two arrived at the parking lot in silence. Bai Yanfei recognized Ling Zeyu's car at a glance. Bai Yanfei didn't speak, and Ling Zeyu didn't dare to utter a sound either.
What he did last night, even though he couldn't resist Bai Yanfei's advances, would have made Bai Yanfei very angry, and he would be in deep trouble.
Bai Yanfei drove the car to the Ling family villa. Ling Zeyu stared at Bai Yanfei's profile, looking at him in disbelief.
"What...are we doing here?"
"Going home." Bai Yanfei glanced down at the ring on his hand, a wicked smile creeping across his lips.
It's time for a clean break.
"Will you come home with me?"
"Isn't it nice?" Bai Yanfei turned off the engine and got out of the car. He looked up at the villa he hadn't seen in a long time. The security guard at the gate saw the two of them and quickly opened the gate.
"Yan Yan..."
"What's wrong?" Bai Yanfei paused for a moment. "You're not welcoming me?"
"Of course not," Ling Zeyu denied immediately.
After going inside, Ling Zeyu still couldn't believe that Bai Yanfei was actually willing to come back.
"I still have all your things. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Look at this, look at how many of my things you've lost."
"Nothing's missing, nothing's missing, I've kept everything." Ling Zeyu opened the door. "I brought your things from the Bai family's place, and... that cardboard box too."
Ling Zeyu mentioned the cardboard box and deliberately stared at Bai Yanfei, wanting to know what memories Bai Yanfei still had about the box.
The box was sealed with transparent tape; those were memories Bai Yanfei didn't want to recall, sealed memories he brought back.
"I thought it was thrown away, but it turns out it's all still here." Bai Yanfei opened the box and placed the contents one by one on the ground.
"This was the first one I bought. I stayed up all night to try and snag it, and luckily I managed to get it."
"I won this in a lottery. I was really lucky back then."
"This is a small gift that was given away. I bought several sets of this gift set, and gave the others away."
"this……"
Bai Yanfei recounted the history of each item one by one, while Ling Zeyu squatted on the ground listening to Bai Yanfei speak.
Bai Yanfei still remembers everything; he remembers it all.
After taking everything out, Bai Yanfei breathed a sigh of relief.
"You remember all of this? You haven't forgotten?"
"If you want me to forget, that's fine too, I don't mind," Bai Yanfei said with a smile, stroking the ring on his hand and then looking at Ling Zeyu's hand.
When he crossed his arms, Ling Zeyu could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
Bai Yanfei let go of his hand and looked around at the ground.
"I went through a lot of trouble to buy these things."
“I know, it’s hard to get anything around me.” Ling Zeyu was happy; it turned out Bai Yanfei cared about him so much.
"But... if I sell it now, it'll definitely be worth a lot of money, hehehe."
Chapter 132 The Perfect Ending
Upon hearing Bai Yanfei's words, Ling Zeyu's upturned lips instantly transformed into a pitiful expression.
"You worked so hard to buy all that merchandise before, and now you're going to sell it? Are you really willing to do that?" Ling Zeyu leaned against Bai Yanfei, rubbing against Bai Yanfei's neck like a puppy. "Don't sell it, keep it. I'll buy you a display case to put it in. Anyway, my room is big enough, I think it's fine."
"You want to see a bunch of your own stuff in your room? And wake up to find yourself all day?" Bai Yanfei rolled his eyes. "Don't you think that's a little ridiculous?"
Bai Yanfei found the thought of Ling Zeyu opening his eyes to find his surroundings incredibly funny, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? I'm talking about something very serious. Isn't this something you like? As long as you like it, I can accept it," Ling Zeyu said earnestly.
Bai Yanfei suddenly thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What if I like other male celebrities and put their merchandise in my room? Would you accept that? Oh, by the way, I really liked that male idol from before. He's so fair-skinned and handsome, and he's an artist under your management. Could you ask him for an autograph for me sometime? I also want a personalized autograph that says..."
"Waaaaah—"
Ling Zeyu silenced Bai Yanfei's lips with a kiss. Afterward, he looked at the panting Bai Yanfei with a fierce gaze, like that of a hawk.
"You are not allowed to like any other male celebrities besides me! Do you hear me? No women either. Your idol can only be me. It was me before, it is me now, and it can only be me in the future. You are not allowed to have any other thoughts."
Bai Yanfei chuckled: "Alright, alright, it's just you. I never knew you were so childish."
"It's not too late to know now. What? You don't like it anymore? Then whatever kind of person you like, I have it. I can make whatever you like."
Bai Yanfei wriggled out of Ling Zeyu's arms and gave a mischievous smile: "If I told you everything, there would be no surprises."
——
Ling Zeyu never expected that going to a bar would improve their relationship so much. Bai Yanfei agreed to live with him at home, and he took the opportunity to move all of Bai Yanfei's belongings over.
But the worst thing is that he has to go on a variety show, which means he can't be affectionate with Bai Yanfei anymore. The relationship that he finally built up is affected by his work, and Ling Zeyu is very depressed.
After taking a shower, Bai Yanfei saw Ling Zeyu looking worried, so he sat on Ling Zeyu's lap and said, "Why do you look so unhappy? Tell me about it."
"I have to go on a gig, it'll probably be for a week. I won't be able to see you for a week, sigh." Ling Zeyu sighed deeply. "I don't want to not see you. We finally got together... I don't want to be separated from you because of work. I want to spend more time with you."
"It's no big deal." Bai Yanfei thought something had happened, but it turned out to be just about work. "I'll go with you. I don't have anything to do lately anyway."
"real?"
Bai Yanfei nodded: "If you don't believe me, then I won't go."
"I believe you, I believe you." Ling Zeyu hugged Bai Yanfei as if he were embracing the whole world.
——
Ling Zeyu tried his best to provide Bai Yanfei with the best environment, rushing back to his hotel room as soon as he got off work. He expected to find Bai Yanfei waiting for him in the room when he opened the door, but to his surprise, he didn't see a single person.
Ling Zeyu panicked and quickly turned to leave, just as Bai Yanfei returned from outside.
"Where did you go? You scared me to death! I thought I had lost you again." Ling Zeyu stepped forward and hugged Bai Yanfei.
"I went to the scene, but who knew you would run away as soon as it was over." Bai Yanfei was also a little helpless. Ling Zeyu was like a child now, and he was afraid that Ling Zeyu would run away every day.
"Then I'll wait for you to come back together in the future."
Bai Yanfei nodded.
On the last day, the location was chosen to be the beach. Ling Zeyu knew that Bai Yanfei had a psychological aversion to the beach, so he ended the interview as quickly as possible.
When they were about to leave, the hotel staff called Bai Yanfei and said that the previous room needed to be cleaned, so he should go to the next room first.
Ling Zeyu also called him, saying he was busy for the time being and that he should go back first and wait in the next room.
Bai Yanfei didn't think much of it. After all, Ling Zeyu was a big shot, and there were bodyguards around him, so no one would lie to him.
Humming a little tune, Bai Yanfei returned to the hotel. He took out his room key and opened the door, only to be shocked by what he saw.
Ling Zeyu was dressed in a well-tailored white suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a delicate bow tie around his neck.
He walked up to Bai Yanfei like a god, holding flowers in one hand and a red velvet box in the other.
Having already experienced a proposal and marriage, Bai Yanfei naturally guessed what was inside, but he still found it incredible.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Zeyu knelt down on one knee in front of him.
Bai Yanfei didn't know how to describe his feelings. He looked at the perfect Ling Zeyu kneeling in front of him, and the dreamy and mysterious outfits around him couldn't catch his eye.
“I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, and it’s my blessing that you’re willing to forgive me, so I’m proposing to you now.”
Ling Zeyu slowly spoke: "Yan Yan, will you marry me?"
Ling Zeyu's hand holding the ring was trembling. Although he tried to calm himself down, his excited heart betrayed him.
